Need a simple comfort-food lunch? This lasagna in a bowl wants to be your friend.

It’s super easy, takes very few ingredients, and satisfies many cravings.

This idea isn’t original with me, but I can’t remember where I first heard about lasagna in a bowl/mug. Just like you can serve an eggroll or burrito in a bowl without their respective carbs, you most definitely can make lasagna without noodles. Lots of low-carbers have come up with passable substitutions for noodles in lasagna, but to me, it’s just, why bother? Leave the noodles out and give me the good stuff…the sausage, the sauce, the cheese. All the flavors are there, and I never miss the noodles. One of these days (after I get back from Ohio this fall), I will make a large-scale lasagna bake sans noodles (with measurements, this time). I think that would be awesome.

Question of the day: are you a noodle person, or would you rather just have the guts of the dish?

You might want to try shredding some zucchini in the place of your noodles. They are really watery, so you can sprinkle some salt on them and put them in a colander to let the water drain out, or just cook them quickly in the microwave for just a few minutes on a bacon dish so that the water is able to drain away

I am going to make this recipe this week for the first time (so excited:) I think I am going to put spaghetti squash on the bottom to replace the noodles. My husband, who loves pasta, actually likes the spaghetti squash better.

Thanks again for another delicious-sounding dish! BUT. I AM a noodle lover, so to me, this is leaving out a VERY important ingredient! I am planning to make this, adding some Miracle Noodles (0 carb, 0 fat)! That should take care of my noodle fix!

This looks super delicious and I’m going to attempt it. It’s hard without the measurements though. I never follow a recipe exactly anyway, but it’s good to have a starting point or at least the ratios… 1 part sausage, 2 parts cheese, etc. This is one problem I have with the THM book, often skeleton recipes with suggestions. I don’t mean to sound negative. It’s just an extra cooking challenge. It usually ends up tasting good, but I’m not a great judge of appropriate serving sizes. I’m learning to listen to my body, but guidelines are helpful.

Understood, and that’s why pretty much all of my recipes contain measurements. I happen to be one of those people who doesn’t measure unless she has to, so it’s quite annoying sometimes to have to measure when I’m making something for my blog. 😛 Sometimes on super easy recipes, I allow myself the freedom to just cook without measurements, and that’s where this recipe falls.

Well, that really sucks for those of us that hate to cook and have no idea about measurements. I’m trying to get started on a low carb meal plan, and this sounded delicious, but having never made any type of lasagna before, I have no idea what to measure out so that it tastes good, and I won’t waste money on ingredients if I don’t know what I’m doing. So in other words, Thanks. For. Nothing.
This also means I won’t look through any other of your recipes or blog posts, as I don’t want to waste my time.

Y’all cant throw meat, cheese, sauce, and a little ricotta mixture in a bowl in the microwave? It’s barely even cooking. If you make it and it needs more meat, add some? More cheese, toss it on? It’s not like you can ruin this and need to throw it out.

Roll with the punches, learn what you like and go in that direction. Have fun with it. Geez.

I like to make a bread in a bowl, then add sauce and toppings, such as taco, pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, ham n cheese… I just chop and stir it all up. The bread gives it the added dimension of pasta, and makes it more filling.

Oh, my…this looks WONDERFUL. I would not miss the noodles….or the guilt from knowing I am eating them! I definitely could be satisfied with just the meat, sauce, and cheese. I can’t wait to try this…I would never have thought of it! God bless you, sweet friend. 🙂

Miracle noodles… look them up on Amazon. 🙂 They are made with konjac root flour (completely fibre) also called gluccomanan. They are reminiscent of Asian rice noodles, in my opinion, except for nutritional content! They can also be called Shirataki noodles, but make sure you get the ones with only konjac flour as ingredients.

This is so simple, yet I have never thought about it. I think I will pre-cook some ground meats on Saturday and divide them up into single serve portions for things like this during the week. I am good at fixing family meals, but seem to struggle with single serve ones. Yes, I think I will make my Saturdays “pre-prep” days!

This just sent me to my happy place 🤣 I had everything I needed, including turkey Italian sausage. I thought for sure I’d miss the noodles, but, no, it’s amazing without!*!*!*! Thank you SO much! Would have rated it for you, but my phone is being quirky.

For those of us that aren’t great cooks or not cooks at all need help with measuring out ingredients. Sounds like a great recipe especially for us low carb people but cannot make this due to no measurements

Oh wow! Rude much? This is so easy! My 9 year old could do this in a pinch without measurements. It’s all about what you like. If you like more sauce add more sauce or less cheese. That is what is so great about this dish! Make it your way!
Lol I never measure either and always tweak recipes my way. I did not know how to cook for a long time and I learned the easiest way and that is teaching myself.
Love your recipes!

I had a craving for lasagna and this fit the bill! Super easy and filling. I used cottage cheese and it was a little runny at first, but I let it cool down for a few minutes and it thickened a little. I’ll try ricotta next time. So many possibilities for add-ins/substitutions. Another tasty keto keeper!
